Decadent and complex while remaining wholly refreshing and drinkable. This Stout is brewed with Milk Sugars and Chocolate to give rich flavours and body that goes down smooth.

Keg at Brew Dock, Dublin, 28/06/15. Pitch black with a solid dirty tan head that dissipates but retains, good lacingensues. Let this jjuan site nearly 15 minutes before I raked it and it still looked bo shizzl - solid 5 appearance being offered. Nose is roast malt, Chocolate, toffee fudge, light coffee, spice trace. Taste carries light coffee grinds, sweet chocolate fondue, light charr, toffee fudge, trace molasses, dark fruit tickle. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with light roast. Solid sweet stout, top draw for style, great balance.

On tap at The Black Sheep, pours black with a small tan head. Nose brings out dry oats upfront - very dry and bitter. Flavour is quite rich and robust, with oats, dry cocoa and a light bitterness. Quite full-bodied and well-balanced. Very good stuff.

The beer starts smooth and creamy. Roasted chocolate in the mainpart, slightly toffee-sweet. The aftertaste is smooth, chocolate with hints of espresso, nicely smooth roasted. In the last end there is a nice bitterness, that harmonises ideal with the rest of the roasted chocolate-flavour.
Very nice Sweet Stout! --> 13/13/14/14

Was expecting something to the effect of Young’s Double Chocolate Stout, but this isn’t so ineffectual. This has a lovely serious bite to it. Thick pour into the pint glass, HUGE tan head that took awhile to dissipate, little to no lacing on the glass. Big chocolate and coffee aroma, some bitter hop resin. Bitter on the tongue like burnt coffee, then the sweetness of the chocolate and the smoothness of the milk sugars come through and add to the finish to make a fantastic beer.

Bottle from Drinkstore, Dublin [131213]
Pitch black, big frothy dark tan head, some lacing. Aroma of soft dark malts, some sweet dark chocolate, soft roast. Taste of roasted malts, yeasty, quite rich dark malts, dab of coffee, some soft bitter hop in there, slightly earthy. Medium carb (maybe a bit over carbonated) and body, smooth. Finish - getting more chocolate here, like dry cocoa, dark malts. Overall - Moreish stuff, drank the bottle in no time. I prefer this to the keg beer. 3.6 > 3.7
Keg @ Brew Dock, Dublin [200913] 7/4/7/3/15
Very dark brown, tan bubbly head, good lacing
Aroma of roasted malts, slightly smoky, touch burnt, soft dark malts
Taste of dark roasted malts, very soft burnt notes, some dark soft palin chocolate, milk sugars, dark sugars, i’m getting into this, good stuff
Palate - Medium carb, medium thin body, too fizzy for a stout, sweet dark malts with slight burnt toasted notes. Finish as mian flavour, soft bitter, dark powedery chocolate, not keen on the fizz but a swirl helps sort it out
Overall - I’d prefer this on cask as the fizz loses the underlying smoothness. Did like this one
